A twice-weekly sharing of eco-shwag.
Planning to visit NoCal in 2010? Today’s freebie is a copy of GrassRoutes: Oakland & Berkeley, an urban eco-travel book series put together by Oakland resident Serena Bartlett.
This handy guide reveals the neighborhoody green knowledge that’ll let you get around town like a long-time do-gooder member of the local eco-community.You’ll find detailed profiles bike shops in the area, welding classes offered at The Crucible, a tool lending library, and a whole lot more.
Read my review of Grassroutes: Oakland & Berkeley to find out more about the book, then comment by Tuesday to get into the drawing, which’ll happen Wednesday (more info on freebies here). US addresses only.
This book sounds great! Hope i win, I could really use it when I go up north to Berkeley!

I would love this book. I’ve been looking for local topics to write about for the new web site Oakland Local. (http://oaklandlocal.com) Most of my blog posts are not local to Oakland. Thanks for letting us know about these books.
